Jo Malone London’s charity candle

For every charity candle sold, Jo Malone London will donate 75 per cent of its retail price to the luxury fragrance house’s charity partners (minus VAT).

This candle’s scent is an intriguing mix of the powdery iris and the spicy freshness of the geranium ‘Lady Moore’ atop a green vetiver base, their fragrances combining to sublime effect.

Proceeds from this year’s charity candle will help fund Jo Malone London’s new project in London with St Mungo’s, a charity which aims to end homelessness and rebuild lives.

The project will focus on helping homeless people improve their health and well-being, develop skills and give something back to the community.

Money raised through sales of this year’s charity candle will also help maintain and further develop Jo Malone London’s existing charity gardens: The Old English Garden in London’s Battersea Park, The Castle Park Physic Garden in Bristol, The Art Garden at The Whitworth Gallery in Manchester, the Kirkdale Country Garden in Liverpool and the Redhall Walled Garden in Edinburgh.

“Gardens are at the heart of communities all over the world and represent a major source of inspiration for Jo Malone London,” says Cheryl Joannides, the brand’s UK general manager. “We support people living with mental ill health through the cultivation and care of therapeutic gardens. Each garden is a place to recover, grow and reconnect with a community. A peaceful, safe haven for rehabilitation.”
